The ONLY reason faith alone was required of the thief on the cross was because he was in his dying moments unable to be baptized, confess his sins, or eat of the Body of Christ. It’s borderline dishonest to suggest that beause a man who was crucified next to Christ didnt need baptism then technically no one does. You let me know when you get crucified not knowing Christ and learn of Him literally while you are crucified, and you can claim you don’t need to be baptized.
